Brain Edema and Eeg During Ischemia and After Restoration of Blood Flow

Abstract

The present study is aimed towards the following; 1) to elucidate the mechanisms underlying brain edema which develops during ischemia and following the restoration of cerebral blood flow, 2) to analyze the relationship between the degree of brain edema and the duration of temporary ischemia prior to cerebral blood flow restoration, and 3) to correlate the functional recovery of the brain assessed by computer analyzed EEG to the duration of ischemia and to the degree of brain edema.
